Iconic villain from the British TV series Dr Who. Though their appearance is robotic, the Daleks are actually little green blobs mutated from members of the Kaled species by their chief scientist, Davros, and placed in robotic armoured travel machines.

The Daleks were bred to become the superior beings by exterminating all other life forms, so that none could rise to threaten them. The eponymous Dr Who is the only thing has stood between them and universal domination

In real life, the Daleks were created by scriptwriter Terry Nation (who also created Blakes 7), while the Dalek machine props for the TV show were devised by production designer Raymond Cusick

From the TV show Dr. Who, a Dalek is a species created by the mad scientist Davros. They are a speices combined from the Dalls and The Callids. The organisms look like a ball of green mishapen putty. But Daleks are very rarely found outside of their protective suits, which allow them mobility and firepower. The most common form of Dalek weaponry is a form of beam weapon, which is so intense that it scrambles the insides of any organisms it is fired at. Daleks are not a very intellegent speicies it seems, but their strength is in numbers and firepower. Davros himself encased himself inside of an armoured suit, to become a Dalek. It was his idea of perfection.
